I made a post last week about my long plateau and the frustrations associated. I just wanted to thank this sub and especially the people that commented and held me accountable. It seems as though my "light" unrecorded snacking was part of my issue. I have since began time restricted eating on a 16:8 schedule. Eating around 1800 calories from 8 am to 4 pm and having nothing but water in between. I have keep up my exersize routine during this as well (every 3/4 days weight training, cardio, sauna).
I am very happy to share that I have broken through the plateau because I got honest about my logging/snacking/workout intensity. I have gone from last week at 238 lbs (36/M/6'2) down to 232 lbs this week. I'm hoping this keeps going with the new 16:8 eating routine matched with continuing my workouts.
Side benefit is I've been sleeping much much better than I ever have been.
If you're stuck in a rut like I was (for almost a year) even with a lot of hard work, better food choices, etc etc please don't stop. I was so close to quitting last week but I decided to go all out and really try my hardest in every aspect and it is paying off. Don't be afraid to be a guinea pig and try new things. New workout routines, new macro ratios, new eating times etc etc. It takes a longggg time to figure it out and it can be easy to just say f#@*k it but I promise you it feels so friggin good to get to the other side and now I feel like I have momentum that I don't want to stop by making a mad decision or breaking my fast.
I hope this post pushes someone thru to the other side!
